  • Tracing an existing map on paper or a image file.

    Yes. You can import the scanned image into your drawing using Insert File in the Draw menu.

    First, make sure the image you want in your map is in the same folder as your FCW file, and keep it with the FCW file from that point on.

    Second, make a new sheet and call it BITMAP, or TRACE, and pick or create a new layer by the same name. Make sure both are active in the status bar.

    Then import your image. A dialog will open allowing you to browse to the file. When you have opened it you will need to click once to place the lower left corner, and a second time to place the top right corner, thereby scaling it to the size you want it.

    Finally, You will need to add a Transparency sheet effect to the BITMAP sheet to control how opaque it is.

    Don't forget that you can move the new BITMAP sheet up and down the list to put it in the right place to prevent it getting in the way.

  • building symbols from Satellite Cities

    Have you got any other city styles you can use?

    @Royal Scribe I tried that. It wasn't. Nothing seems to prevent it, or cure it.

    By the way, Helen, I'm not saying don't report it to TS - just that the answer may take a bit longer than usual.

  • Live Mapping: Villages of Schley *CANCELLED*

    I used to drink gallons of the stuff to stay alert at an office job. Now I'm coffee-total.

  • How can I import my own Hextiles into CC3+?

    To have your hexes origins set at the centre there must be no space in the png around the edge of the hex, or if there is a space the space must be exactly the same number of pixels all around.

    When you import your hexes again, having remedied any edge discrepancies, make sure that you import them with the "Symbol origin" set to the centre of that grid of radio buttons, like this.
